The 100% Shoeing Job !
Dave Farley,(a world renowned farrier) has pointed out five factors needed in ideal working conditions and how they affect the outcome of a shoeing job. He explains to horse owners and trainers, that if any of the conditions are less than desirable, it will compromise the farrier's ability to provide quality hoof care.
The five necessary conditions for quality hoof care are:
- Well behaved horse
- Well lighted work area
- Clean work area
- Flat work area
- Dry work area
If any of the above requirements are lacking, the final outcome may not be 100%. However, the first requirement, a well-behaved horse is the most important criteria. It is a tough, risky job to work on a good horse, but the "dangers to a farrier's physical and financial well being are magnified greatly by an unruly horse".
